chain link fence repair services

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is soliciting quotations for chain link fence repair services, specifically the complete removal and replacement of approximately 40 linear feet of damaged perimeter chain link fence at the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center in Seattle, Washington. Contractors must be properly registered as a contractor in Washington State, submit a copy of their business license, and maintain key personnel as identified in their proposal. The scope of work requires excavating post holes to a minimum depth of 36 inches, setting posts in concrete footings with maximum 10-foot on-center spacing, and installing a new 7-foot high, 9-gauge galvanized chain link fence with 3-strand barbed wire topping using new first-quality galvanized steel materials. Evaluation will be based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with proposals not to exceed 20 single-sided pages and must include documentation demonstrating qualifications, technical capability, capacity to perform within the required timeframe, relevant experience, past performance, and a detailed work plan. Quotations must be submitted by email to thuot@usgs.gov no later than March 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, and an amendment issued on March 11, 2026 added photographs of the facility to the solicitation package.

This solicitation is set aside for total small business with a NAICS code of 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and a size standard of $19.0 million, with no incumbent contractor identified. The estimated magnitude of construction is up to $10,000.00, making this a relatively modest contract award. The contract is a firm fixed price award with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements applicable to the work. The period of performance runs from March 30, 2026 through May 31, 2026, providing approximately two months for completion of the fence repair work. The work will take place at the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center located along NE 65th Street in Seattle, Washington, with the contractor required to coordinate work to maintain facility security throughout the project duration.
